I enjoyed a month in the beautiful Hanmer Springs on the South Island of NZ…
The Dream – music video
Moving to Melbourne in 2014 and all the adventures, hardships, and big city challenges that came with that season influenced the lyrics.” says Bryce
The video was made by NMIT lens based media students, who each had to make a stop-motion clip about a section of the song. They were engaged right from the start asking questions about the song and bouncing creative ideas around.
“Seeing little clay versions of ‘me’ everywhere in the art studios was funny to see. Their tutor, Jess Shirley did a superb job at co-ordinating this, and I am proud and honoured to have edited them all together to complete this video.”
Recorded and initially mixed at Hummingbird Recording Studio in Nelson, this track was made up out of several demo recordings Bryce made in hotel rooms while on tour using his 1981 Ibanez 12 String guitar.
“It’s raw sound really works for this song. Often the only free time on tour is when you’re in a hotel room and you have minimal recording gear.
It was recorded on a 4 track battery powered portable recording device, it was nice not having the distractions and pressures from a modern recording studio when writing songs like this. The song has to work well with an acoustic guitar before I add more layers.”
The finished track was remixed and mastered by top music producer Dan Healy in the UK. The song is available on all the top online stores including Spotify.
Songbroker NZ has released this on their label including an instrumental version available for film and TV placements.
There’s a series of new songs being created as Bryce works towards creating his highly anticipated 4th studio album with top UK Producer Dan Healy.
